Joining squad

[hooahman]

I am making a mission where you are scattered and have to find your buddies.  Sort of like I44 Drop Zone (1st mission of I44 demo campaign).  Is there a script which makes a soldier join your group whenever you are within a 5m radious of them?  I don't need any sounds, but whenever you get near the soldier a thing comes up in action menu saying Link-up or something similar.  If anyone knows of a script like this please post link!  Thanks in advance!

Something like this... syntax not guaranteed, this is little more than a sketch.


#loop

?loon1 distance loon2 <5 :goto "activate"
~3
goto "loop"

#activate
[loon1] join loon2

or

loon1 addaction [ etc etc

exit

Red on the offical Forums actually got 2 scripts that do exactly what I want.  Here is the stuff.
Detect.sqs

Code: [Select]

_unit = _this select 0

#loop
~0.5
?(player distance _unit) > 5:goto "loop"
unitnearplayer = _unit
action1 = player addaction ["Link-up","link.sqs"]
exit
 


link.sqs

Code: [Select]

player removeAction action1
[unitnearplayer] join player
exit

These work, but have 2 problems.  

• I can link up with my guys from the other side of island
• It only works with 1 guy

I dont want to have a ton of scripts running to link the guys up, just 1.  Can you do this?  Thanks!

What do you need a script at all for??

Why not just add the action directly to the guy you want to player to be able to join up with?
